Seneca Lake boat launch upgraded

The Seneca Lake boat launch in Geneva that was reconstructed as part of a $2.8 million statewide project from the state’s New York Works initiative is now open.

The launch at Seneca Lake State Park on Routes 5 and 20 in Geneva was reconstructed with $650,000 from New York Works due to the poor conditions of the original facility. The concrete piers at the dock had settled over time and tilted, leaving users walking on a slanted surface. The new launch fixes that problem and includes the construction of a large parking area for boat trailers, new parking for the small boat marina, new paths, and is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
